Re: Tilt Pin "Knob" Installation Recommendations

Have never seen one of these newer kits, is this some sort of universal kit that has you cut the rod to size so it fits several different engines? I’m assuming the handle is the usual hard plastic. Were there any instructions in the bag/kit? Maybe this is just some sort of manufacturing error. I would think that the plastic handle would be just compressed onto the rod, but it would surely be tough finding a vice that opens wide enough to accept the long tilt pin. Trying to tap the handle onto the pin with a mallet might break the lovely plastic….
Post some pictures if you can.
I don’t want to give you bad advice about this, I’m sure the part was ridiculously expensive.
